for Although that could just be worded as “a non-official post that’s more than five minutes old”. The whole of Rule 1.7 could use a polish at some point, though.

Good point Kevan.

I’m hoping that there will many changes to the core ruleset in this dynasty so I’m sure we’ll get a chance to sort it out.

(I’m out of proposal slots at the moment.)

I suppose “change the categories as e wishes” is a dangerously vague, reading more closely. Maybe we could make a Buckybot to automatically vote for things and say that it can see loopholes in them.

The whole area of posting isn’t very well defined.  For example, the definition of official post in 1.7 is very vague.

Kevan:  I was referring to Thelonious’ promise of “Many changes in the core ruleset”.

As far as I know, this doesn’t allow any new scams by itself.
